But x-Drive also relies on traction control intervention (brake application) to transfer power left to right, both front and rear. It is only the centre (front/rear) diff that is different with x-Drive.

I've had both x-drive, and an X5 without x-drive, and both tires and weight made more difference than x-drive or not, in my experience.
